2021 Flowers Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
This Chardonnay is all class, blooming with pineapple, crushed citrus, white flowers, and a generous dollop of salty minerality. Bright acidity and beautiful balance complete the picture in this elegant Chardonnay that hits all the right notes.
The folks at UC Davis said it couldn’t be done. When Walt and Joan Flowers saw a newspaper ad for 321 acres of land on the Sonoma Coast, just 2 miles from the Pacific Ocean, they were immediately intrigued, but took pause. Only a few families – the Hirsches and the Bohans – were successfully growing grapes in such a cool part of California. Thankfully the Flowers ignored the ‘experts’ and planted Camp Meeting Ridge in 1991, so named for its history as an indian encampment and later, a site for religious retreats. Today Flowers is known for making some of the finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in America.
